Very clever design; I'd imagine if you staked out both sides it may be a bit more stable for those who move around in their sleep.

Very clever design; I'd imagine if you staked out both sides it may be a bit more stable for those who move around in their sleep.
New hammock first; I'd suggest either a Dutchware Chameleon or anything from Dream Hammock. Keep using the Underquilt you have for now, and then when funds allow buy a top quilt.
When I first started using a hammock I played around with pillow options, but quickly found that I did not need one. I'll sometimes wrap a shmaug around my neck if I'm getting cold, but that's as...
I see the slight extra weight from a full length to be worth the benefit of full coverage from foot to head. I would only consider a 3/4 if I was going to be using it in temps above 70 degrees.
Chameleon!
I have a Thunderbird, and at first very much liked it. After using it a few times however I came to dislike the placement of the closed zipper all the way at the "head" end of the hammock. I always...
I have an Wilderness Logics 20 degree full length under quilt and I'm very happy with it. I was looking at options from other vendors, and found weight and price were all very competitive. I...
Ordered the Purdy Boil mug and a cotton T-shirt. The mug is awesome; I use it every morning for my coffee. The T-shirt on the other hand was of terrible quality; the printing was chipped and faded....
I ordered my underquilt from Wilderness Logics, and got it within a week or so with a my choice of inner and outer colors. Awesome service and very competitive pricing too. Check them out:...
Really like the design. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime; seems pretty easy to retrofit to an existing underquilt.
I haven't used a sky bed myself, but after checking their website I don't see why a foam pad wouldn't work. However, it would likely sag more with the foam pad; an inflatable pad (especially one...
just ordered one myself with webbing; too good of a deal to pass up.
If you could add some sort of vertical central support you could hang one end of the hammocks to that and the other end to different walls/corners of the cabin. Just a thought.
I thought I would want a pillow to support my neck when I switched to a hammock, but I've found that I don't really need one. Sometimes I'll wrap my shumag around my neck, but more so for insulation...
Welcome from South East PA; I grew up in Brookline.
Are you going to make something with a cat cut?
Bait those slugs with a shallow dish of beer, or a ring of salt around your camp! The salt would keep evil spirits, demons, etc. out too, or so I'm told...
Somewhere between hammuck and hammick here; I've lived in New England, Florida, and currently Pennsylvania, so I have no regional accent to speak of.
I love my Thunderbird too! Bought it used and now have it set up in my bed room. Slept in it the past three nights in a row. First night was rough (first time ever in a hammock), but after that...
Very nice! Just took a look at your website too; nice looking products overall. One bit of advice though; I didn't see a listed weight for the Vaporlite hammock. Since it's marketed as ultralight...
Hello from Southeast Pennsylvania. My little sister thinks your country is awesome.
I'll Take It
I don't see anything wrong with a bright overcover. I have a Dream Hammock Thunderbird in Olive with a Blaze Orange overcover. Although I bought the hammock used, and probably wouldn't have chosen...
Watched the teaser yesterday myself; seemed like a waste of a video - no clear idea of what it is.
Just checked the sites; they all say 20% off not 50%. Typo or am I missing something?
I would never trust a company who's only online presence is Facebook - too sketchy for me. Although it may be too late for you in this case; keep in mind that it is always best to use a credit card...
Pennsy,
Thanks for the link, but the main reason I enjoy camping and hiking is to get away from large gatherings of people, so I'll be passing on this one. Hope everyone that does go has a great...
Pretty sad if the moderators are reprimanding you for posting in the wrong forums; they should just make a polite note and move it to the correct one. I'm new here, and haven't had any problems with...
I've never been impressed with Vargo's quality especially at the prices they normally go for. I've found that the MSR mini-groundhog aluminium y-stakes are a far better choice.
I set up my Dream Hammock Thunderbird yesterday, and the only issue I'm running into is the ridgeline is sagging way to much once I lay in the hammock. I had the tree straps set about 6' high and...
Great simple advice, thanks!
Welcome from Bucks county, PA. I'm fairly new to the forums as well, but it's a great resource so far.
Just my initials and birthday
That camo bug netting is pretty sweet looking. Nice hammock!
I just purchased a pair of these last weekend, and got them super fast. Got around to setting them up today with my new-to-me Dream Hammock Thunderbird. These straps are awesome!
Nice looking products. I'm in the market for an under quilt, and not I have another option!
Hey everyone! I've been camping on again off again for over 20 years, but just starting out with hanging. Looking forward to using my hammock, a used Dream Hammock Thunderbird, and picking up any...
